This tremendous amount of games caught up with the Siskiyou Jaxx Senior Babe Ruth baseball team on Tuesday, as the Jaxx lost to Mazama 8-1 in a nine-inning affair at Hibbard Field in Yreka. Siskiyou was down 4-1 in the top of the ninth when Mazama smacked in four runs to seal the victory.

Curt Bennett started for the Jaxx and had four strikeouts, while Tevin Cadola had three strikeouts in three innings of work. Michael Schuler went 2-for-4 for Siskiyou. Cadola scored the lone run for the Jaxx.

Head coach Steve Neel said that the squad seemed fatigued on Tuesday, and that the energy they needed was not there as the players' legs gave out.

"We've played a lot of baseball since Wednesday," he said.

The Jaxx played two games at Grants Pass last Wednesday and proceeded to travel to the coast on Thursday to play two contests versus Brookings-Harbor. On Sunday, the Jaxx played two games in Klamath Falls.

On Monday, the Jaxx earned two wins versus Bonanza in Yreka. The Siskiyou Jaxx won the doubleheader 10-3 and 10-0 in five innings. Monday's games were the first contests that counted this season that the Jaxx had played at Hibbard Field. Previous home games were played in Weed.

Starting on Friday, the Jaxx are hosting the Southern Oregon/Northern California tournament with the winner heading to the regionals in Klamath Falls. The event concludes on Sunday. The Siskiyou Jaxx are set to play Bonanza on Friday at 6 p.m. at Hibbard.

If they lose, they will play at 1 p.m. on Saturday. If they win, they will play at 4 p.m.
